Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 2010
 

I have booked a trackday at Spa with Mitsubishi Lancer Register on Bank Holiday Monday 31st May 2010.

http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?t=299736


We had about 10 CSLReg members there last year

My guess is that there will be a Ring weekend before hand when TF dates are announced but either way im still off to Spa. Group discounts are available with an MLR member booking but beware as last eyar it sold out in a few weeks. Dont forget BaT and GT charge £350 for summer dates.

So for those of you interested get your purse out and get booking

Myself and maybe one or two mates (both with cars, not CSL's though) could be interested in this as we are planning a Ring trip around this time and may well take the opportunity to tie this all in together :)

currently Eurotunnel costs for 2-4 days are under £100 all in!:thumbs:

Tell me the protocol shimmy, when do you go, come back? etc where do you stay? how do you get there?
Very interested in this:supz:

last year MLR was BH monday early May and some guys went out to the Ring Friday and Saturday to do TF days Saturday and Sunday, then either stay at the Ring Sunday night and travel Monday early to Spa. Home Monday night or Tuesday morning.

others , like me who were not allowed out by the wives, drove over Sunday to Spa and home straight after the trackday to Uk, staying one night only in Spa

anything is possible.:thumbs:

Ring is 4 hours from Calais - and Spa only 3 hours from Calais - 1 hour between the two.

Some northern monkeys ferry Hull-Zebrugge overnight to try to tap off with the hen nights and others either Dover-Calais ferry or Eurotunnel both ways.

My guess this year is there will be a big load of us who do the Ring and Spa.

I will likely go out Saturday early - Eurotunnel say 10am - Calais 12 noon - Ring 4pm in time for beers then spend Sunday at the ring and probably travel to Sap Monday early for the trackday. Maybe go straight home to uk or stay over.

Last year quite a few of us left Spa 5pm and got the Eurotunnel around 10am and were back at home by midnight

So for those of you interested get your purse out and get booking

I'm in Shim. Been the last 3 years. :thumbs:

One of the best trackdays @SPA i did last year .
So i will be there again this year :thumbs:

Hoping to do this one again - MLR run some good TDs :thumbs:

Guys - would this suit a track day virgin ??

Intend on getting in the saddle this year but sounds like it could be in at the deep end ?? :smt102

Definitely! Nice long (and wide) F1 track with decent run-off most places, with only around 60 cars and OPL - so doesn't get too busy.

MLR days tend to be well controlled and drivers courteous too ;)

and youve got 5 months to get some practice in :thumbs:

That's good then cheers, I will have a chat with him about this as my mate always does Dover - Calais ferry, but Dover is 3hrs+ drive from us! :banghead:

That's also good news as it'll be my first proper one too, only ever passengered at tracks before, although if we do the Ring a day or two before Spa then that'll be a baptism of fire! :bigcry: :hahaha:

I'm going

DuncanR going but I haven't told him yet !!!!!!!

Nathan with the green CSL is going

Pistol pete is going (grey CSL)

& Manchester Matt (m3 cs) is going

I am keen to attend, how do I book this? and do you need to be a MLR member?

Jon

From what I read you don't have to be an MLR member, click and read the links in Shimmy's thread, they have some good info on there :thumbs:

Im going then !! What a Christmas present from you T$ :thumbs:... just hope my daughter has given birth by then :bigcry: .. I can start a BTG Grandad only times !

Im just wondering if we could save money by loading up an articulated car transporter ! I could drive it out and back, you lot can all drink ! It may not be as crazy an idea as you think ! .. well .. apart from me driving ! ( I do have an LGV Licence honestly !)

Yeah going hopefully wheels gets his passport;) this time, probs going the hull-zebrugge or rott route

Yanto, Spa last Nov was my first ever TD mate, and it was wet, its a great place, big run offs... well in places ... should you need them of course !;) Think of it as the M6 ..with tighter bends and you will be fine ! ( speaks the voice of experience after 2 TD's :hahaha: )

is your 4-way CSL that bad on the roads :thumbs:;)

Hopefully not after Thorney has done the Geo,:thumbs: my nearside was 30mm lower at the rear and 20mm at the front !:bigcry: And If i can work out how to use it, and what setting i need on road, I will change it for journey down, though my car may already be out there in storage by then Shim.

I might attend too (accompanied by my friend with an E92 M3)

Let's see :drool:

I may have to go for this day too - got to show some CSLs the way eh??? :blalalala:

i am looking forward to this even more................all i need now is Curly in his Gayman to turn up!:smokin:

an old vid of one of the OPL.co.uk guys nearly ruining his lovely car - go to 2m 50 s if you are impatient

Lucky sod managed to catch the "Super Beetle" doing it's usual thing :whistle:, after touching the green stuff. So modest about it all, too. :wanker:

Tbh I think the talk was all relief!

Agreed. Sounds like a decent chap to me. He was proper freaked out! Bet he had a nice long cuppa before going back out for a couple of gentle ones.:hahaha:

Looks like im gonna spin the coins in the direction of the MLR chaps and join you gaymen :whistle:

Well... since you posted that video of Spa, i have spent all morning producing my very first ever video..and with sound !:thumbs: Its taken me about 4 hours to finally get everything sorted including the size of video for youtube etc., apologies for the soundtrack, its all i could come up with as the camera is waterproof ! and yes , i know its shot from inside the car !;).
I love that turn 17 at Blanchimont where the chap went off on the grass, which is what prompted me to make the video in the first place as I couldnt for the life of me remember the grass divider being there, I thought it was all solid runoff ! so I played my video back to confirm and lo and behold there it was ..grass, I shall make a note of that for May, where I can see I need to be looking for sub 3 mins to be mixing it with you track gods !

Yanto why dont you sit back, relax and listen to Beethoven whilst memorising the track layout at Spa ! Dont for one minute presume though that I was always on the racing line and hitting all the apexes...if any !

Looks like a CSL Cup reunion.

I smell blood!

I smell beer ;)

I smell , well sort of sweaty now !

Looking forward to a meeting of like minds !:hahaha:

Nice one Darren. Ring before as well :smt023:smokin: Thank you please.

Hand relief ? :whistle:

Yep thats a given :thumbs::smokin:

Gonna be out mid end Jan .. well if snow permits, possibly on winter tyre solution if it is.. :whistle:

Make it Feb and I will join you with my winter tires :)

Will have to be early feb , will know when I need to be over there in a few days, so could be a possibility ;)

Das rite :whistle:

On that note actually what wheels and tyres are you running for winter as I need to make a purchase for this trip as it more than likely will be, and anyway will need em over here with the snow thats on route down south !!

Darren/Alex, I'm out Feb 5th-8th with a couple of mates. Can you make it then?

Me and my mates will be in my 335i Tourer as the CSL is sleeping till Spring time.
